How to fight against online usurpation?
Usurpation is a broad term referring to different types of attacks.
For online brands, there is a form of phishing in which the hacker uses the domain name of a company to steal its identity or that of one of its employees.
Online usurpation involves sending fraudulent emails created from domain names that are similar to the brand, which may appear legitimate to the recipients and link to copy websites.
